Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (256 grams / 9 oz) creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120 grams / 4.2 oz) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Blend room-temperature cream cheese and peanut butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until achieving a silky, homogeneous consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Sugar Integration: Gradually sift powdered sugar into the mixture, blending at medium speed until the ingredients transform into a dense, malleable dough with uniform texture.
- Bite Formation: Utilizing clean hands or a cookie scoop, meticulously shape consistent, compact spherical bites approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring precise and even dimensions.
- Chilling Process: Position the crafted bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet with minimal spacing, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify the treats and amplify their flavor complexity.
Notes
- Ensure Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring cream cheese and peanut butter to room temperature for seamless blending and smoother texture.
- Master Mixing Technique: Use medium mixer speed to prevent over-mixing, which can make the mixture too loose or grainy.
- Perfect Bite-Sized Precision: Use a cookie scoop or consistently sized spoon to create uniform, professional-looking bites.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: Refrigerate bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up texture and allow flavors to meld together deliciously.
